As an artistic work, I would also say that it was brilliant. I found myself engrossed in the movement of the work and its subtlety. I took the opportunity to glance at the audience during the performance and everyone seemed fully attentive to what was happening. My favourite piece was "When I am smiling". For the most part, the show was exhilirating and exciting. Jasmyn Fyffe's work can only move upward and onwasrd. There are many possibilities going forward for the work and performances of ASM.<br />Jim GibbonsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087303744777936873.post-44734496376802378162010-06-26T14:34:33.449-04:002010-06-26T14:34:33.449-04:00Thanks so much for responding.

It is a one-of-a-kind experimental instrument created by Michelle Righetti in 2005. It can be simultaneously played like a didjeridoo, used to amplify the voice, and played like a single-string Cello. All of the sounds are mixed and amplified through the bell of the instrument to provide a warm, resonant, amplified sound.Michelle Righettihttp://www.oddopera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087303744777936873.post-16511791564786601302010-06-26T11:53:38.216-04:002010-06-26T11:53:38.216-04:00Last night I attended "WAR" choreographe...Last night I attended "WAR" choreographed by Jasmyn Fyffe one of Canada's up and coming dancers. The hour long piece was a journey of grief, anger, resistance, survival, hope, joy and victory. As you watched, you became drawn into the essence of each piece and lived the journey the dancers took with each movement...We...ll done ASM (As The Spirit Moves) Dance Ensemble, well done...Dianne RobinsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
